Mother...first drawing...

Look what I dug up. This is the very first drawing I ever did of Mother when I got back to Wildstorm in 2001. I don't think we ever got around to using it. I'm in the process right now of coloring it. Maybe use it in the trade. It is a picture of Mother in the core of the Waering Mainframe (the one she thinks is her long dead mommy) this is right before she dies in there...notice how she is connected to the mainframe...

Whilce,I am so glad I found a way to contact you again. Duuude. I just heard from Don Hankins last month. Remember him? I am so sorry to hear about the Lupis, and your coma. So much has changed! Odly enough, my mom went back to college and has to write a paper on comic books. She remembered you from 1984 and called me for info. Wow, many updates. You are doing very well. Duh! You have always done amazing work!! Any chance of you coming to Chicago for a show?John Welshwww.WelshVideo.com

What happened to Mother ? When exactly did she die and did it happen on page or was it just something that happened and was never published....I have the entire 43 ish run of the first series as well as the few one-shots that came out as well and dont remember it happenening ??? Maybe I missed something...

I love your work and you're probably sick of hearing that by now from people you don't really know. Anyway, could I make a small request...? Do you think it's possible for you to post a higher resolution of your pencils here once in a while (if that's not too much to ask), because I'd love to try and ink your work again.

lOVE THE DRAWING BUTONE QUESTION?? iM sHOCKED NO ONE ASKED THIS QUESTION BUT WHERE IS mOTHER ONE'S sYMBIOTE.. IS THAT WHATS KEEPING HER SOUL IN HER BODY AND WHY NOT cLOTHES... SHE WAS THE BEST cYBER CHARACTER SINCE MOTOKO fROM gHOST IN THE sHELL...-dAVIDWALKER427

I've been a fan of your artwork since the early Image days, and especially during your run on Iron Man. It's too bad that Heroes Reborn had to end after only one year.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but do you take commissions outside of conventions? Lately i've been trying to get my favorite artists to do a rendition of this L5R character named Matsu Nimuro so that i could post it on this site i recently put together:lowfierce.com/nimuro

If you're interested in doing a color illustration of that character, please email me with info about your rates and stuff. My email address is "majestros" at "sonichurricane" dot "com"

Hi Whilce. I'm a college student taking an Asian American perspective class and I'm writing a research paper on the impact of Filipino artists on American culture. My professor told me that you live in San Diego and I was wondering if I could interview you if you had time?

Hi Whilce im Christian Hernandez, just call me Payat :), from Philippine Island, i just recently took the effort to look back on my chilhood and remembered your name in my mind. You were one of the inspiration, though i didn't got the chance to be a comic artist... i've somewhat got on the technical side of drawings(architecture). i was surprised that you had a condition, i really felt bad for it, cause your so good. my best friend and i, during our younger years, once dreamed to have a comic series of our own or a publishing house that will cater to ourselves only cuase at some point can't afford to have comics to buy... the reason im sharing you this is you have been a part in our life... for that i... let me rephrase "WE" thank you for the inspiartion for the filipino youth to be imaginative and not be affraid that Filipinos can do far, by faith we'll achieve a dream much bigger than we imagined... again we thank you... may God shower you more blessing cause you've been a blessing to "us".

Yeah i was hoping whilce would update us fans more on the cancellation of wetworks or more questions asked about the past few books that have came out. I keep checking and hoping. The one thing i liked about this blog was that Whilce could communicate with fans here. I hope we get some answers soon.

About Me

I love the process of creating stories and characters. I could (and do) spent most of my time in my favorite pastime "World biulding" That is creating or re-creating worlds for characters to wallow in.
